At the 84th Academy Awards this Sunday, red carpet fashion critics will be spending almost as much time gawking at evening gowns as they will on their cell phones.

That’s because Twitter has teamed up with fashion experts like Nina Garcia and Tim Gunn to see who tweeters think is the best dressed. Twitter users can tweet their selections using the hashtag #BestDressed during the Oscars Red Carpet Live show on ABC where Gunn and Garcia will chat about Twitter’s choices.

But with every awards show, the red carpet fails and miscues are half the fun. Thankfully, Twitter has enlisted the help of five comedians to keep things fresh. They include Lisa Lampanelli (@LisaLampanelli), Nick Swardson (@nickswardson), Whitney Cummings (@whitneycummings), Paul Scheer (@paulscheer), and the Sklar Brothers (@sklarbrothers).

For general Oscars news and updates, check out @OscarInterviews, @TheAcademy, and @OscarGoer.

We’ll still be pulling for @Uggie_TheArtist.
